SOC & Business Success with ANY.RUN: Real-World Results & Cases 

Running a SOC today means constant trade-offs: too many alerts, not enough people, strict SLAs, and attacks that keep getting smarter. Most leaders aren’t asking for “the next cool product” but a proof that something actually cuts time, risk, and workload in real environments like theirs. 

Thousands of organizations already rely on ANY.RUN to reduce analyst load, resolve phishing cases faster, cut unnecessary escalations, and speed up detection so incidents are contained before they reach the business. 

Here we are bringing that evidence together. Let’s look at the results from different industries, how teams use ANY.RUN across Tier 1/2/3, and why it became a core part of their SOC operations, so if you’re still hesitating, you can see exactly what teams like yours are achieving with it. 

What Real Teams Achieve with ANY.RUN: Proven Results Across Industries 

When you look across banks, MSSPs, transport companies, and healthcare providers, the pattern is the same: once ANY.RUN becomes part of daily SOC operations, teams move faster, reduce noise, and prevent incidents earlier. 

Here are the outcomes customers report consistently: 

• 94% of users report faster phishing and malware triage in real SOC workflows. 

• 76% faster phishing triage for a healthcare MSSP (from 30–40 minutes down to 4–7 minutes). 

• 50%+ reduction in malware investigation and IOC extraction time. 

• Tier-1 closure rates rising from ~20% to around 70% after giving Tier 1 full behavioral evidence. 

• 30–55% fewer false escalations thanks to richer context and verdict confidence. 

• 21 minutes average MTTR reduction in SOCs that integrated ANY.RUN into their workflows. 

• 15 seconds MTTD for phishing and malware threats which allows analysts to accelerate their SIEM/SOAR investigations. 

• Insights from ANY.RUN’s solutions helped SOC and MSSP teams stop hundreds of ransomware attempts before they ever touched production systems. 

MSSP Success Case: Faster Threat Analysis Without Expanding the Team 

Expertware is a European MSSP with over 18 years of experience, providing SOC services to organizations across banking, insurance, retail, telecom, and other industries. Their cyber intelligence operations team supports multiple customers at once, where speed and depth of analysis directly impact SLAs. 

Challenge 

Before adopting ANY.RUN’s Interactive Sandbox, malware investigations required manually building and maintaining reverse-engineering environments. This slowed response times, limited visibility into full attack chains, and made it harder to scale analysis across multiple customers without adding workload. 

Outcome 

Expertware standardized a single analysis cycle centered on interactive execution and fast intelligence sharing: 

• Execute and observe: Suspicious files and phishing samples are detonated to expose full behavior and multi-stage chains. 

• Analyze in depth: Analysts interact with malware in real time to uncover obfuscation, memory-only stages, and C2 infrastructure. 

• Extract and share: Indicators and findings are mapped, documented, and shared across SOC and IR teams to speed decisions. 

This approach removed the need for custom VMs and reduced friction across investigations. 

Results 

• Over 50% reduction in malware investigation and IOC extraction time 

• Faster turnaround on customer incidents without increasing staff 

• Clear visibility into full kill chains, including fileless and memory-based stages 

• Easier collaboration through shared, interactive analysis reports 

• Improved SLA performance by resolving cases earlier in the workflow 

Healthcare MSSP Success Case: Faster Phishing Triage Without SLA Risk 

A mid-sized MSSP specializing in healthcare supports hospitals, clinics, and labs across thousands of endpoints. Operating in a highly regulated environment, the SOC had to balance strict SLAs, audit requirements, and a growing volume of phishing and malware alerts. 

Challenge 

As the customer base expanded, Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams were overwhelmed. Multi-stage phishing emails with redirects, QR codes, and CAPTCHA checks often took 30–40 minutes per case, driving escalations, slowing response, and putting SLA commitments at risk. 

Outcome 

The MSSP standardized a single operational triage cycle combining sandbox execution, threat intelligence, and detection feeds: 

• Early execution with the Interactive Sandbox cuts phishing triage by 76%, reducing analysis from 30–40 minutes to 4–7 minutes, while giving Tier 1 full visibility into real malware behavior. 

• Richer context through Threat Intelligence Lookup improves decision confidence, driving 34% fewer false escalations and enabling Tier 1 closure rates to rise from 20% to 70%. 

• Live intelligence via Threat Intelligence Feeds keeps detections current as attacker infrastructure rotates, resulting in faster MTTR and fewer false positives across automated workflows. 

• Continuous monitoring of active attacks affecting 15,000+ organizations enables early detection of the latest threats. 

Results 

Since we implemented new solutions, every investigation now comes with evidence and threat data, from MITRE tags to screenshots. This made reporting faster and extra work fell off our shoulders.

• 76% reduction in phishing triage time (from 30–40 minutes down to 4–7 minutes) 

• Higher Tier-1 closure rates with fewer escalations to Tier 2 

• Stronger SLA stability across multiple healthcare customers 

• Audit-ready investigations with clear execution evidence and context 

• A shift from reactive response to proactive, repeatable defense  

Banking Success Case: Faster Analysis, Stronger Security Outcomes 

A Brussels-based investment bank (750 employees) runs cybersecurity with a lean team of 12, where people often switch between threat analysis and incident response depending on what’s happening. 

Challenge 

When the Head of Cybersecurity joined, the security setup was “messier” than expected, and the team was getting swamped with alerts daily. Improving efficiency meant fixing the workflow, and a malware sandbox quickly became a top priority. 

Outcome 

The number of ransomware and credential stealing attempts we have prevented thanks to the sandbox is already in the hundreds.

After integrating ANY.RUN as part of a broader workflow overhaul, results showed up almost immediately. In the first week, the team was able to process alerts and threat analysis at least twice as fast, helping avoid incident response and recovery costs through timely actions. 

Results  

• 2× faster alert processing and threat analysis (visible in the first week) 

• Better understanding of malware behavior through VM control (browsing websites, downloading, executing files) 

• A faster, more practical approach than running custom-built VMs on isolated machines that take significant preparation 

• Prevented hundreds of ransomware and credential-stealing attempts over time 

• Stopped a supplier email attack by detonating the email, opening a password-protected ZIP, identifying a loader, and seeing it download and initiate ransomware in the VM, then blocking the email across the organization and warning other departments 

Transport Company Success Case: Real-Time Visibility into Active Cyber Attacks 

A multinational transport company operating across North America, Latin America, and Europe relies heavily on email to communicate with clients, contractors, and suppliers. With a 30-person security team, staying ahead of active attacks required a threat hunting approach that scaled without adding manual work. 

Challenge 

Attacker infrastructure changes rapidly, making static indicators and public reports outdated within days. Manually tracking phishing campaigns, malware activity, and CVEs relevant to the transport industry consumed time and made prioritization difficult. 

Outcome 

The team standardized a continuous threat hunting cycle that turns fresh execution data into detections: 

• Confirm reality with an interactive sandbox: Detonate suspicious samples to capture behavior and extract high-confidence artifacts. 

• Expand to campaign scope: Subscribe to TI Lookup’s Search Updates, pivot across related IOCs/IOAs/IOBs, domains, hosts, and historical activity. 

• Operationalize fast: Use TI Feeds to push validated indicators into existing security workflows so detections stay current. 

Results 

• Near real-time visibility → faster decisions while attacks are still active. 

• Quicker IOC/IOA/IOB discovery → shorter time to contain relevant threats. 

• Less manual research → more capacity without extra headcount. 

• Clear active vs. expired prioritization → steadier SLAs, fewer wasted cycles. 

• Fresher detection updates → fewer repeat incidents as infrastructure rotates.

If teams in finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure rely on it daily, it’s because it delivers results where stakes are highest. 

Why These Results Repeat Across Teams and Industries 

These outcomes show up in very different environments for one reason: high-performing teams don’t treat investigations as one-off incidents. They run a consistent, repeatable way of working that turns uncertainty into clarity fast and keeps that clarity flowing across the whole operation. 

What makes the difference: 

• Decisions are based on evidence, not assumptions 
  Teams don’t wait for “maybe” signals to become obvious. They confirm what’s happening early, so risk doesn’t quietly grow in the background. 

• Context reaches the right people at the right moment 
  Frontline triage gets enough clarity to close routine cases confidently, while deeper work is reserved for what truly needs it. 

• Response stays steady even when attackers change tactics 
  As infrastructure rotates and methods evolve; teams don’t fall back into manual chase mode. They keep coverage current and avoid repeating the same work. 

• Workflows are built for scale, not heroics 
  The process holds up under load, across shifts, and across customers, which is why SLAs stabilize and burnout drops. 

That’s why the same gains keep showing up: faster decisions, less noise, and fewer business-impacting incidents. 

Ready to See What Results Like These Look Like in Your Environment? 

Every SOC operates under different constraints; tools, team size, industry pressure, compliance rules. What doesn’t change is the cost of slow decisions, unnecessary escalations, and incidents that reach the business before they’re contained. 

The teams featured here didn’t rebuild everything from scratch. They focused on shortening time-to-verdict, giving frontline staff better clarity, and keeping detection current as attacks evolved. The result was less noise, steadier SLAs, and fewer incidents turning into business problems. 

If you’re weighing whether a change will actually move the needle, not in theory, but in daily operations, these results show what’s possible when security work becomes faster, clearer, and easier to scale.
